We will meet and greet and start out early in the morning in the town of Wilkeson where we can grab coffee and some few supplies. After the caffeine settles in, we will take a 30min drive through a gorgeous winding forest road, over a gigantic steel one-lane ex-railroad bridge, and deep into national forests!
From there the choice is yours!
We will park at the Carbon River Entrance to Mount Rainier where we can walk through old growth forests and discover the old mine (people aren’t permitted down into the mine but definitely can enjoy it from the outside), Chenuis Falls, Ranger Falls, and Green Lake. Those that want to see the Carbon Glacier and don’t mind the long trek (7miles in) can keep venturing on. Beyond the glacier lies many more lakes and forests to be discovered! Wild fruits and berries usually line the trail mid to late summer, and yes, we can totally pick and eat as many as we can find!

I have been living next to Mount Rainier National Park most of my life. I’ve hiked all over the park in several different spots but always go back to my favorites a short drive away from where I live. My dad used to take me everywhere hunting, fishing, hiking, backpacking, and helping search for lost people with Pierce County Search and Rescue. As your guide, you’ll be safe, secure, and able to enjoy some of the most beautiful sights Mount Rainier has to offer while not coming across any large or obnoxious tour groups. My tour takes you to the most secluded areas of the Park. There will still be other hikers but it will be so much less crowded.

The coffee shop in Wilkeson is called Nomad, and it’s pretty epic. If you came to Washington (home of Starbucks and birthplace of the greatest coffee roasters around the world) then you’re gonna love our first stop!
Chenuis Falls looks like something you’d find in an epic fantasy movie like Lord of the Rings.
Ranger Falls is breathtaking, and Green Lake looks like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
Carbon glacier is well worth the hike!
